The 2017 Polaris GENERAL 4 1000 EPS added a second row to the GENERAL crossover formula. It paired seating for four with a 100-horsepower ProStar 1000 engine, a dumping cargo box and the trail-oriented suspension that distinguished the original two-seat model. This page covers the 2017 launch specifications; for seat time, read our Polaris GENERAL 4 review.

Room for four on the trail
The second row gave the GENERAL room for two more passengers. Polaris equipped both rows with supportive bucket seats and standard half doors. The front driver’s seat slides to adjust the driving position, while the rear passengers get their own center console and cupholders. Wide-opening doors make entry and exit easier throughout a day of riding.
Storage includes in-dash compartments, front and rear center consoles and weather-resistant bins beneath the front seats. The tilt-adjustable steering wheel moves with the instrument cluster to keep the gauges in view. An automatic backlight changes the digital display color for visibility.
Cargo, towing and suspension
The 600-pound dumping box, 1,280-pound total payload rating and standard 2-inch receiver gave the GENERAL 4 practical work capacity alongside its four seats. Polaris rated towing capacity at 1,500 pounds and included engine braking. Those are original 2017 model specifications; follow the vehicle’s owner manual for loading and towing instructions.
Polaris specified 12.25 inches of front travel, 13.2 inches of rear travel and 12 inches of ground clearance. Front and rear sway bars helped manage the longer four-seat chassis. The Silver Pearl version shown at launch included a front bumper and Polaris HD 4,500-pound winch.
